My guest today is a former Wall Street managing director, community activist, speaker, coach, and author of the book The Three Rooms.

These experiences have given him a unique and eclectic mix of understanding human nature. He noticed that our happiness and unhappiness in life is always the result of our thoughts – whether observations of the present, memories from the past, or projected fears about the future. Combining this theory with the deep personal insights he attained along his own 20+ year spiritual journey, he stepped away from the corporate world to write The Three Rooms, in which he explains how observing which room your thoughts are in, can change your experience of life.

The book invites you to start the process of better monitoring your thoughts—while providing you the keys to transform your life by doing so.

I think there’s a ton of insight in this conversation, and I’m excited to share it with you.

We’ve got an incredibly special episode for you today. I’m gonna go out on a limb, and say that its probably one of the most fascinating and insightful conversations I’ve ever had on this podcast. I strongly encourage you to suspend your disbelief and just listen with an open mind.

It’s people like my guest today, who are out there helping to facilitate just some really intelligent conversation on the topic of consciousness— he’s written an incredible new book entitled AN END TO UPSIDE DOWN THINKING, where he explores some of life’s most challenging questions about who we are as human beings.

In the book, he explores the idea that, contrary to mainstream assumptions, consciousness is NOT produced by the brain.

This book has been endorsed by well-known thinkers like two time Nobel prize nominee, Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Harvard Neurosurgeon and #1 New York Times bestselling author, Eben Alexander MD. Even Goldie Hawn said that while reading this book, “New pathways of the mind will open and perhaps shift your perception of reality, time and space, and above all consciousness!”

I can tell you that I first discovered him on another podcast, and knew immediately that I wanted to have a conversation of my own with him.

I really hope that you enjoy this incredibly insightful conversation…as we think outside the lines with Mark Gober.

Guest Bio:

Mark Gober is an author whose worldview was turned upside down in late 2016 when he was exposed to world-changing science. After researching extensively, he wrote An End to Upside Down Thinking to introduce the general public to these cutting-edge ideas – all in an effort to encourage a much-needed global shift in scientific and existential thinking.

Mark has long sought answers to life’s challenging questions. As an undergraduate at Princeton University, he was drawn to astrophysics because he wanted to understand the universe. But because due to commitments as a member of Princeton’s Division I Tennis Team, he decided that astrophysics would be too demanding. So instead of studying the invisible forces that govern the universe, he studied the invisible forces that secretly drive human behavior, getting a degree in psychology, focusing on behavioral economics.

After college, he explored the universe through books for fun. But it wasn’t until the summer of 2016 that he randomly stumbled across a series of podcasts that exposed him to some radical new ideas. Those ideas put into question the most basic assumptions about who and what we are as human beings. The more he researched, the more he realized that he needed to rethink everything that he thought he knew.

When he began relating to friends his research, they told him it changed the way they looked at life. Their lives started to improve. After he’d heard that multiple times, he realized it was time to share his research with a broader audience through his book and podcast so he could help more people.

My guest today is a former Chief Financial officer, turned author. Her latest book is titled, Live Love by Design, and its all about shifting our focus from stress and worry to freedom and joy.

We cover so many amazing and important topics in this conversation…and Im so inspired by her perspective on life, death, purpose…I’m really excited to share this interview with you today. I hope it inspires you.

All the way from Australia, its time to think outside the lines with Karen Chaston.

Guest Bio:

As a former corporate Chief Financial Officer, Karen Chaston brings a unique perspective; extensive business experience and hard-earned wisdom that she wished were available to her when she needed them.

Karen ran on the corporate treadmill until the day the world came tumbling down on her head. The constant effort of juggling work, family, the big house and cars, and the stress created by all that was taking its toll on her even before tragedy struck when her son died at a young age.

Karen’s suffering and disappointments became the catalyst for personal and spiritual growth, leading to her creating “Live Love By Design” on and offline programs, book and online TV show.

For many women in business, we focus on money and profits. Karen’s strategic approach combines her life experience and financial expertise to assist women specifically, to heal from their major life events. Allowing them to easily shift their focus from stress and worry to freedom and joy.

Best of all, Karen’s Live Love By Design key notes and programs will make you laugh, cry and look at life from a completely new perspective. You’ll receive actionable systems you can implement immediately whilst keeping you focused on the most important person in your life: YOU.

Life is all about choices and I firmly believe that how we feel and think affects the outcome of each and every one of them.

Professionally I am a dentist, entrepreneur, inventor, author, speaker and coach. I use my problem solving gift and passion to aid other souls in unboxing themselves so they can live a life of greatness.

Success can mean just about anything - the meaning will change with time...

In my teens I attributed academic achievement to success, graduating as a Valedictorian from my High School. Shortly thereafter I graduated from the USC School of Dentistry, Magna Cum Laude, at age 24. Only a few years later I became one of, if not the youngest AACD Accredited Cosmetic Dentist in the World. I was climbing this ladder of success as quickly as I could and became a millionaire before the age of 30.

Then everything changed. I began looking at life a little differently. Contributing to the happiness of others, including myself became my focus. I studied happiness for many years and consequentially made many significant changes in my life.

Purpose, passion, freedom, peace and love overshadow any level of financial success anyone could ever achieve and this is where I dedicate my energy to now.

If you are looking to be infected with success, happiness, passion and purpose, then I am your vector.

Its time to think outside the lines with Karen Noe.

Guest Bio:

Karen Noé, an internationally renowned psychic medium for the past two decades with a two-year client waiting list, was a deep admirer of Dr. Wayne W Dyer, a man whose teachings truly transformed her life. But shortly after his passing in 2015, he began a dialogue with her that resulted in not only personal messages to his family, but a world-changing message for humanity.

Dyer opened the way for Noé to become a powerful conduit to deliver WE CONSCIOUSNESS: 33 Profound Truths for Inner and Outer Peace (Hay House, April 2018), an extraordinary collaboration with Dyer and a collective known as the WE Guides, including St. Francis of Assisi, bringing forth vital information for all of humanity on how we can achieve heaven on earth today.

The 33 concepts in the book are the keys to experiencing the divinity within us, the one consciousness to which we all are connected. As we live these precepts, we create the inner peace that can translate into external peace in the world. The WE Guides ARE the consciousness that enable us to be instruments of peace if we follow their guidance.

And today, she continues as the Dyer family medium, bringing Wayne’s messages directly to his widow and children.

Its time to think outside the lines with Corbie Mitleid.

Guest Bio:

Corbie Mitleid has always been “the different one.” A writer and visionary in a completely medical family (father a doctor, mother a nurse, brother a doctor), she has always made her own path rather than take one cut for her by others. Leaving an Ivy League university after two years, Corbie struck out to find where joy and purpose lived, regardless of what she was told she “ought” to do.

The path wasn’t easy. Two marriages, which didn’t last, and a constant search for the Partner Who Understood. A succession of jobs. A series of spiritual paths. Moving from Cambridge to Philadelphia to Poughkeepsie to New York City to Atlanta. Out of the blue, breast cancer—not once, but three times. Life became a roller coaster with no brakes, asking Corbie to survive divorce, abuse, poverty and life-threatening illness. But through all of this, she learned the value of the Examined Life: meeting challenges and always asking the next question, facing each new situation with strength, courage and humor.

Today, Corbie brings a full toolbox to her job as a beacon of manifestation and vision for her clients. She knows what it is to create a career out of experiences. While she’s now a full-time intuitive counselor and inspirational speaker, her career has encompassed positions as a published author, a professional actress, a television producer, a radio personality, an executive recruiter and the “power behind the throne” for a number of high-profile CEOs.

Corbie’s career now spans the globe, with clients worldwide. Her talents as an intuitive are featured in bestselling books. Still, her clients treasure her attitude of I’m not special, you can do what I do.

“We have opportunities we can go after, and challenges to get past,” she says firmly. “My job is to give you the tools and courage to deal with both situations. Everything else is free will, and up to you!”

Corbie lives in upstate New York with her husband Carle, a professional historian, and three large and exuberant Maine Coon cats.
